how many tricks to work on each day?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise

My husband had our black lab before I met him and so he did all the training with her and I want to make sure I do it right no matter how he did it haha. I am wondering if I should concentrate on one thing at a time...

Help Me - I'm stressing out!
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I know this topic has been addressed before but I'm at my wit's end. Just what is normal eating for a puppy? Eli, 5 1/2 months old, 5 pounds, just doesn't seem to enjoy eating! When he was first home he ate his puppy kibble fine when moistened. Then he wanted nothing to do with it. I've...

My landlord says he will sell me this house. I am going to do my best to buy it. As you know I'm self-employed and that makes it harder to get a loan. So I'm going to give it a go. It would mean a lot to me if you can send all kinds of good energy this way. See Jean and Sofia in their own...
